ipython notebook blogging with tinkerer

[John Gill]

Is anyone else interested in making this work within tinkerer:

I am not an IPython user, but definitely sounds interesting. I'm wondering though if this could be implemented as a Sphinx extension? In that case, it would also work with Sphinx for embedding notebooks in documentation. Also interesting that such an extension doesn't exist already :)

Thank you,

Vlad

I just started playing this and would love to see this supported.

Pelican has it:

Nikola has it:

and Sphinx has some of the support already.  For example I am using these two extensions for sphinx:

IPython.sphinxext.ipython_console_highlighting

IPython.sphinxext.ipython_directive

This allows me to use .. ipython:    and .. code-block: ipython to render out ipython data.  To generate rst from the ipython notebook I'm currently running `ipython nbconvert <my notebook> --to rst`  and once I have rST I just copy it into my blog post.

What I would like to see provided by tinkerer is built-in support for the nbconvert step.  Something like  .. notebook: <filename>   and have it auto run the convert to get the restructured text and embed it with any images generated.

This sounds like it can be implemented as an extension hooked up to Tinkerer. I can try and take a look at some point, when I have enough free time to ramp up on iPython. 

Pull requests are welcomed in the meantime :)

Thank you,
